Chapter 41: Soul Devourer

Meng Mei was already greeting Zhang Changsheng's eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart.

"Ten years ago, I came from the Soul Realm through a teleportation array. They said this is a pure land that would give me a great opportunity and help me break through, so I came here." Meng Mei said as she secretly looked up at Zhang Changsheng.

The Soul Realm comes from another dimension. I don’t know if the other party knows it. If the other party is a true Heavenly Master, he will naturally know it. If not from this world, no one should have heard of the Soul Realm. In their legends, there is only the underworld.

The underworld and the soul world are two completely different places.

"Go on." Zhang Changsheng said.

Meng Mei hurriedly lowered her head. She could not see any special reaction on Zhang Changsheng’s face. He didn’t seem surprised. Could it be that he had heard of the Soul Realm?
"After I was teleported here, I found that this is truly a pure land, our paradise. It is much better than the Soul Realm. Everyone here can become my food, and no one can restrict us." Meng Mei's expression showed great enjoyment, as if she was reminiscing about the past ten years.

"How many of you are here?" Zhang Changsheng asked.

"The teleportation array can only transport 100 people at a time. At that time, I was still an ordinary wandering soul. As for how many people came here in total, I don't know. After coming here, I didn't meet my companions who came with me. The location where the teleportation array landed was random. Later I learned that the organization that teleported us here was called the Soul Hall. I obeyed the orders of the hall master."

"I don't know what level the hall master is. I only know that he is very powerful. The souls in this area all obey his orders. However, he does not have any restrictions on me. Apart from carrying out targeted tasks every month, I am free to find targets at other times."

"How did he contact you?"

"I go to the contact point to collect it every month. Once I complete the mission, I'm free. The prey here are too weak, so every mission goes smoothly." Meng Mei still had a bit of pride on her face, but when she saw Zhang Changsheng's gloomy expression, she was so scared that she stopped smiling.

Forget that they are the same kind.
"I have no choice. I cannot disobey the orders of the Palace Master, or he will kill me. Although I have never actually met the Palace Master, his pressure almost scared me to death."

"Master, I know everything I know. Please let me go. I promise that I will never hurt anyone again from now on."

Zhang Changsheng glanced over coldly, "Are you not going to carry out your mission?"

Meng Mei lowered her head and moved her fingers, as if making a difficult decision. "I will just hide. Yes, I will hide far away. The Palace Master will definitely not be able to find me. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will definitely turn over a new leaf."

It looked at Zhang Changsheng with a sincere smile on its face, its waist almost touching the ground.

"You are lying!"

There was a crack of thunder.

Meng Mei's whole body fell heavily to the ground, her limbs were twisted, her face was pressed against the ground, her facial features were deformed, and her tongue was sticking out.

"My Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master, I have told you everything I know. I will not leave. From now on, I will follow your lead and do whatever you ask me to do. I have left the Soul Palace and turned from darkness to light."

Meng Mei got up, knelt at Zhang Changsheng's feet, and kowtowed exaggeratedly.

"Why isn't your memory erased!" Zhang Changsheng asked sternly.

If Zhang Changsheng had not previously stripped the possessed ghost of its memory and knew that its memory had been erased by the Soul Palace, he would have been fooled by this guy.

Meng Mei knelt halfway, her body seemed to be stiff, and she turned her face away. "How did he know? It's over, it's over. Could he be a member of the Soul Palace? Could he be the Palace Master? It's over. I'm just shooting myself in the foot."

"No, no, he can't be the Palace Master. Never mind. He's going to die anyway. It's better to die late than early."

Meng Mei knelt down and cried bitterly, "Master, please listen to me, everything I told you before is true. I concealed it because I thought it was insignificant."

"Say, I don't want to hear any nonsense!"

Zhang Changsheng raised his sword.

Meng Mei shouted hurriedly: "I have awakened the Soul Devourer and my memory has been restored." It crawled on the ground, its eyes rolling around. This was its biggest secret.

"Soul Devouring?" Zhang Changsheng tapped the table lightly with two fingers.

Of course he knew about the Soul Devourer, a mutant that could devour souls of its own kind. Only one could be born among tens of millions of souls.

Once the Soul Devourer grows up, its lowest level will be a Ghost Immortal!
Among the ghost immortals that Zhang Changsheng knew, all of them were soul-eaters without exception. In other words, a soul-eater might not necessarily grow into a ghost immortal, but if one wanted to become a ghost immortal, one must be a soul-eater.

Therefore, in the soul world, before the Soul Devourer grows up, what it has to do is to hide its secret, because once other souls know it, it will be a disaster!

There is no difference between ordinary souls and soul-devouring ones. One can only extract the soul essence of the opponent. Once the soul essence is forcibly separated from the main body, the main body will quickly die.

Meng Mei didn't know how Zhang Changsheng would deal with her. She secretly looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head, feeling very uneasy.

"This guy won't kill me, right? I can devour souls, and I may become a ghost fairy or even a ghost emperor in the future. I'm so valuable, wouldn't it be a pity to kill me?"

Meng Mei couldn't see through the little Taoist priest in front of her at all. Every time she saw him, she felt chilled to the bone.

"Why is my life so miserable? It's no wonder that I met such a person. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been envious."

Meng Mei regretted it deeply.

"Hand over a wisp of soul essence and I will spare your life." Zhang Changsheng said.

Of course, he would not easily kill a giant who could grow into a ghost immortal or even a ghost emperor, but if the other party refused to be controlled by him, there would be no pity in killing him.

Soul swallowers are rare, but in the endless years counted as tens of thousands of years, there are also many soul swallowers. But how many of them can eventually become ghost immortals or ghost emperors?

Soul essence is equivalent to the primordial spirit of a cultivator. Once you control the soul essence of an opponent, you can kill the opponent with just a thought, even if the opponent is thousands of miles away.

Meng Mei had a complicated expression, knowing that this would be the result.

"Yes."

Meng Mei released a wisp of soul essence, and Zhang Changsheng waved his sword finger and put it into his own soul seal. From then on, if the other party made any unusual movement, he would be able to detect it in the first time.

"I greet my master. From now on, you will be my master. I will serve you like a slave and guarantee your satisfaction." Meng Mei immediately knelt in front of Zhang Changsheng with a fawning face, but in her heart, she was thinking about how to swallow Zhang Changsheng all the time.

"When I become a ghost fairy, that will be the time to kill you."

Hmm. Zhang Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

Meng Mei lay on the ground and dared not move, "I have no ill will towards my master, otherwise, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

"From now on, you can call me Xiao Hei. Come in."

Zhang Changsheng stretched out his finger, and on the thumb of his left hand was a peach wood ring, which was originally intended to be used to contain souls.

"This matter has come to an end. We must focus on our cultivation. Soul Palace, Palace Master..."

Zhang Changsheng looked up at the starry sky with a deep gaze.
